About Me
Well I have started making cross' like the one here. I make these as therapy and to sell. The Lord has guided me through out this journey and all cross' I made are given to me by God, . I prayed about what and how to make them so I feel they are blessed by God.. If you would like to see more cross' drop me a line at Cross_by_Daryl@yahoo.com. Well just wanted to share that with you all. well what can I say, I love music Christian, singing is my passion, I am kind of laid back but who can be totally laid back when your bipolar, I was diagnosed in 2002 and was apart of a bipolar research program, so they could learn more about the different types as well as if it is hereditary.

I have a BA in Psychology with Philosophy.
Interests
